One game I love to play in the arcade is Skee Ball. It's similar to bowling, except it's played on an incline and with a fist sized ball.
The original Skee Ball game was invented in 1909 in Philadelphia, PA.
Skee-Ball, Inc. is located in Chalfont, PA. Philadelphia and Chalfont are about 1 hour driving time from my home.
The game show "The Price Is Right" has a game called "Super Ball" which originated from the Skee Ball game.
Skee Ball is becoming a competitive sport. Leagues are forming in Washington DC and the Carolina states.
For now, I will continue to enjoy playing in the arcade.
I think my nephew could possibly earn a spot on a professional team...
Love that game....reminds me of many summers at the shore! I can finally comment for some reason this week I can't leave comments on yours and Mrs. 4444's blog! Having time off this week it's nice to read and visit blogs again! Hope your summer is going great !

ReplyDeleteI stink at it, but Skee Ball is my fav arcade game of them all. It's so much fun for any age!

ReplyDeleteI'm just an average player. Every once in awhile I get the middle circle and win a lot of tickets.
ReplyDeleteNow you have to get 1,000s of tickets to win even a lollipop. Crazy!
